If I am owner or manager at a club, I certainly wouldn’t spend anything on Huntelaar but it seems there is interest from EPL clubs!

He’s failed with Milan, failed with Real Madrid but has just the success of the Dutch league to back him. I dont think he’d succeed in England but let’s see if some club buys him.

As for Ronaldinho, it’s looking like Milan will keep him. Who knows, there’s time still. Podolski might work for Milan.

The problem with Huntelaar is not only that he failed to distinguish himself during the season, but was non-existent during the World Cup, which could have raised his value. But some clubs are always looking for a big name – maybe a Chelsea or Bundesliga club would take him in hopes that he can still be an impact player.

And I agree Niccolo, I will miss Balotelli as well. But it looks like his situation has disintegrated to the point where he just can’t stay in Milan and needs a change of scenery to reach his potential. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like a Serie A club can or wants to pay for him, so it’s off to England.

Yep Robert, the reaction among AC Milan fans is that they’re realizing that they probably don’t need Ronaldinho anymore, and among Inter Milan fans it’s that maybe Balotelli is too much hassle, and he’s not even needed with Eto’o and Milito. But I certainly will miss both of these players if they leave…

And Rami, who will buy Huntelaar?I don’t think there’s a club willing to spend anything on him considering his recent bad form. But I feel very bad for him because he was never really given many chances, always put on as a late sub, or given little playing time. And AC Milan don’t have the money for Ibrahimovic, unless they offload more than just Ronaldinho and Huntelaar. I don’t know what to think about Podolski, terrible club season, great World Cup, a risk worth taking?

Ronaldinho might be staying as Milan are desperate to offload Huntelaar. They’re looking for buyers so they can sell him and then use the money to sign Podolski.
If Ronaldinho and Huntelaar are gone, the Podolski and Ibrahimovic are being considered.

The lack of outrage or surprise in these comments is telling – I don’t think Serie A fans think they will miss either of these players!!
